Iron Chef America Battle Chicken (1 of 5)

[yl358]

all these comments and not one mention that Chef Perry Lang is hottttt??

[maipigenDK]

I like this show I just Hate that they all wear rings and stuff like that. It's a haven for bacteria gross...

[ProblmSolvd]

My fave episode

I FUCKING LOVE CHICKEN

I refuse to eat anywhere that doesnt serve chicken

[MsJup1ter]

Yum~ BBQ.....yummmmmm.

[darkskyBAO]

anyone who doesn't have the guts to bite at a bell pepper is not the greatest chairman ever in Iron Chef

[kdcordova]

@darkskyBAO really because bell peppers are not that spicy try a habenero or a birds eye chili those are hot

[maryann2573]

classic chicken meat

[MrJustin1057]

that is some very good food

[thedonsweat]

I love Iron Chef. The only way to improve the show is to use Alton Brown as the secret ingredient.

[metapickachu]

I really like bobby flay

[acaspers]

what did alton mean when he said "chicken? again??" was there a previous ICA battle chicken?

[obiy2k]

The Chairman is a Legend!

[icicle8]

@obiy2k damn chairman, changing rules.. should have the challenger picked whom to battle..

[coopiero1]

@obiy2k the chairman is a fucking idiot,is he even remotely japanese?

[obiy2k]

@coopiero1 It's just a bit of fun, to make the programme more exciting...it gets people to tune in!

[coopiero1]

@obiy2k he's so shit though do people really find him entertaining?it's like they have just pulled sum random guy off the street and told him to pretend to be japanese

[obiy2k]

@coopiero1 It's all a bit of theatre. The chairman is actually an actor. Nobody says Beeeer like the Chairman. If you've ever seen Iron Chef UK, you will know why I love the Iron Chef America Chairman. Our Chairman is a poor imitation. He's like a shitter, camper version. It's like swapping Frank Sinatra for Michael Buble, does the same thing, just not in the same way!

[FLiPMoDeAriaO5]

@coopiero1 look up Mark Dacascos you fucking idiot!

Alton says something wrong (for once). Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of your liquid is equal to the applied pressure (in cooking, the atmospheric pressure). Pressure cookers do this by trapping in steam effectively, thereby reducing the time needed for vapor pressure to - atm. pressure. Both the atmospheric pressure and the boiling point of water remain constant. Adding atmospheric pressure would increase the boiling point, which seems counterproductive, don't ya think?

[Pinklex03]

Im not sure if I agree, because by raising the boiling point of water it allows for the water to achieve a higher temperature. Also if you are correct why then does water boil in a vacuum sealer when the pressure is high yet the temperature is still very low.

[xskillsx101]

@Pinklex03 There is a lot wrong with those statements. 1) Boiling points don't change unless impurities are introduced which disrupt the lattice of intermolecular forces. 2) Large amounts of water don't simply boil in an instant - it takes time! Even if you surpass 100C, 3 liters of water won't simply evaporate, which is why the pressure cooker doesn't just blow up on you when you get to 100C. But the pressure does increase, and eventually the cooker will open to prevent said blowing up.

[xskillsx101]

@xskillsx101 ... I'm not sure about what the vacuum sealer is (not a culinarian)... so I'll reserve making any comments about it for now.

[Pinklex03]

Im sure you know what you're talking about, but I know for a fact that when a liquid is put in a vacuum sealer at room temperature it boils almost instantly. A vacuum sealer essentially removes all the air from whatever is in the bag so maybe what it is doing is literally sucking out the air in the liquid but if you watch someone do it you will see it boil before it removes the air. Im just curious what exactly is going on

[xskillsx101]

Well, to understand why it boils at such a low temperature, you sort of need to understand the scientific definition of boiling. A liquid is said to boil when its vapor pressure (the pressure caused by the gaseous molecules being emitted from the liquid) is equal to the pressure being applied to the liquid (in most cases, the atmospheric pressure or about 1 atm). So basically, when we boil something (most commonly by increasing the temperature), we are putting energy in to...

[xskillsx101]

to increase the liquids vapor pressure to 1 atm. But, there is another way to boil something: you can just try to lower the applied pressure, so the vapor pressure doesnt need to be that high for the liquid to boil, and consequently, the temperature doesnt need to be that high either. By putting the liquid in a vacuum and seeing it boil at room temperature, this is what is happening chemists actually use this technique a lot to boil compounds....

[xskillsx101]

....with really high boiling point because a lot of those compounds decompose at too high of temperatures.

[Pinklex03]

Gotchya, thats pretty much what I thought . but to be clear the boiling point does change technically in this scenario right? or is there some other allowance that prevents this from definitively changing the boiling point

[xskillsx101]

Yup - the boiling point is technically lowered in this case.  But when we refer to boiling point we normally mean the atmospheric boiling point (which for water is 100C)... So it is possible to alter when a liquid boils, but that's not the mechanism of the pressure cooker - it doesn't create a vacuum or increase the atmospheric pressure (in contrast, only the vapor pressure of the liquid increases).

[EvanDotMac]

i be the chairman could even make the toronto maple leafs look epic

[ThInTrM]

I'm really thankful that Food Network is carrying on the legacy of Iron Chef Japan with ICA. Thanks for uploading these!

[mykuching]

Hi, thanks for uploading ICA episodes. We don't get ICA here in Malaysia. We only have re-runs of IC Japan.

I'm enjoying every episodes regardless who wins who loses. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

[MrXiphoid]

Thanks for uploading these episodes, can you, if you have it, upload battle Fennel, it was with Batali vs I think, Gand & Tramonto. Thanks.

[xena2225]

can you also upload that holiday episode where the iron chefs battled with one another? thanks a lot. i love watching iron chef america. thanks for the uploads. :-)

[asiansensationmd]

What about the one with Bobby Flay v.s. Susur Lee? The tie of battle pork? That one was epic!

[mchan2048]

i'm gonna try uploading every episode of ICA eventually as long as Food Network never complains to me!

[Ce33]

@mchan2048 up load the marc forgione one! please!

[GeorrgeAllen]

@mchan2048 Thanks!

[WhitePlumes]

@mchan2048 If foodnetwork wants more fan, they better not delete your videos.

[AnimeEchizen]

mchan can u upload the battle of masters episodes? the one with the originial iron chefs vs the american ones

[lonleycpl]

thank you and keep adding I dont have cable and cant watch it any other way.

[mchan2048]

you are welcome, I shall add as many episodes to youtube as long as foodnetwork doesn't complain about me doing so =)

[capuccino101]

@mchan2048 i love u

[liteprotoss]

I've been looking forward to this one.
